[Dowanhowee] Ah!
-There. Get your ass up here.
Your whole kind is filth!
You hear me? Filth!
[grunting]
Morning, Sheriff.
Agh!
-Tommy,
I'm getting real sick and tired
of your bullshit. All right?
This has gotta stop, all right?
[Tommy grunts]
[Sheriff Clarke spits]
[speaks in Lakota]
-Everything all right, Sheriff?
-Tommy just bein' a burr

-Sheriff.
-Yeah.
Oh, they're just--

Just go put the kettle on,
would ya?
Just give me a minute.
What can I do
for you now, huh?
-Ho--horse.

With rags like that,
you're gonna buy a horse, huh?
I don't think so.
-Horse.

-Awful nice day, Sheriff.
[Lester laughs]
Pudgy prick.
[laughing]
[horse neighing]
[Dutch grunts]

-[footsteps]
-[piano music playing]
[lively chattering]
[Oryen chuckles]
-Hey, slick.
Come here.
What do you call a white man
strung up by a group of Indians?
-I don't know.
-A bartender.
[laughter]
-You Pickerton?
-Gentlemen,
forgive my rudeness,
but this game
is coming to a close.
Hopefully your trip wasn't
too cumbersome, Mr. Wilder.
-My name is Dutch.
Sorry, miss. You have to find
another lap to sit on.
This is a man's
conversation here.
[Dutch groans]
[Sally] I hope
I'm speaking to one,
'cause the man I hired
went maverick
and flopped a simple
situation tits up.
-You're Pickerton?
-Sally Pickerton.
This here is Wallace Price,
my escort
in these lawless lands
when business beckons.
-Poker?
-I don't ride all this way
to play no damn cards.
-Mr. Price,
would you be so kind
to get Mr. Wilder and I a drink?
[chair creaks]
[Edward whistling]

-[Dowanhowee gasps softly]

[Edward choking]
[grunting]
[Dowanhowee groaning]
[Edward screams]
[grunts and groans]
[Dowanhowee stabbing]
[Edward grunting in pain]
[Dowanhowee panting]
-When I hired you, Dutch,
you stated that you could
perform a quiet
and clean robbery.
-Well, if someone shoots
at me, I shoot back.
Where's my money?
-Do you have my parcel?
[envelope rustles]
[stabs envelope]
-I'm gonna ask you again.
Where's my money?
-The payment is in order
once I know what you have
is what I hired you to retrieve.
[lively chattering
in background]
[Nacoma galloping]
[lively chattering]
-Seems to be in order.
Since you showed me your hand,
I'll show you mine.
[envelope rustles]
-What the hell is that?
-Your payment.
A telegram.
[bottle thuds]
[whiskey bloops]
[glass thuds]
-Ah.
[guns cocking]
-[Lester laughing]
-I'll give the both of you.
five seconds
to give me my money.
-You pull that trigger
and hell's fire
will rain on you.
-Wouldn't be my worst day.
One.
-Hear us out, Mr. Wilder.
-Two.
Three.
-You like gold, Dutch?
-Four.
-We know where enough of it is
to make you a rich man.
-Five.
[gold nuggets clatter]
[gun clicks]
[guns clicking]
-Next time I see you,
I'll take your balls out
and eat 'em.
-You have no idea
what hell awaits you, boy.
-[laughs] Yeah, right.
[Sally] A few months ago,
I heard rumors
that the wolves out East were
planning to hire prospectors
to mine deep for gold
within Indian Territory.
One simply cannot believe
in rumors alone,
so I did a little
sniffing around
and with luck, I stumbled
across this telegram.
Along with it, we intercepted
their Indian scout
who was hired to escort them
through an area called
the Black Woods.
an uncharted forest somewhere
beyond the prairie wasteland,
and this is what
they found so far.
-Those flakes.
they ain't worth shit.
-If you make sure
those prospectors
don't make it back East,
I'll let you take out
as much gold as you can carry.
-I ain't no damn miner.
[Wallace] By now,
those prospectors
have probably found
enough deposits
leading them to a vein.
We can sweep on in
and take it from them.
If not, I'm there to find it.
-Sound rosy?
-All right, let me
get this straight.
You want me to kill
a couple of miners for you.
And then you want me
to go dig for my own payment
in a place that no one knows
how to get to.
-Not only did we retrieve
that pouch of gold
but we, uh,
convinced their scout.
to give us directions.
-You know
how to kill people.
And I know how to find
shiny things.
-Is that a fact?
-That much gold
can set a man for life.
Help him disappear.
You don't want to be fetching
envelopes forever, do you?
-Hi, handsome.
-Ain't you just
a rose in the desert.
-Oryen, go see
where Edward ran off to.
-Oh.
-Man.
-Buy a girl a drink?
-What's your name?
-Wendy.
-I'll meet you upstairs.
[Wendy blows a kiss]
-Two Feathers,
you got seconds.
-You'll find what
you're looking for,
and once you do,
we'll all be rich and free.
One more thing:
There are many legends
about the Black Wood.
So, as you travel forth
from here, please take caution.
Let's hope those stories
I've heard are not all true.
We must be going.
-Miss Pickerton,
if you cross me,
I'll find you and tie a rope
around your neck.
I'll drag you behind my horse
till there ain't nothing left.
You see, I don't care
that you're a woman.
-Keep in mind,
if Mr. Price doesn't return
to me within a month,
I'll have every lawman
hunting you down
ready to hang you and your men.
You are right, Mr. Wilder.
I am a woman.
a woman you don't
want to fuck with.
Happy hunting.
Get yourself
a bottle of whiskey.
It's on me.
-Nice chattin' with you.
We head out in the morning.
Let's go, boys.
[]
[Dutch] Lester.
[distant horse neighing]
[Dutch grunts]
[Lester] What the hell
was that all about, Dutch?
-Lester, how much money we got?
-It's packed
in Edward's saddlebag. Why?
-All right. We're gonna
get supplies in the morning.
We're gonna head out.
-Where in the hell we going?
What about the money?
-Lester, just be ready,
all right?
-[running footsteps]
-[door opens]
-Dutch! It's Edward.

-Ugh. Hiya.
[horses galloping]
[Nacoma neighing]
-Seems they stayed warm
last night.
-He's not too far ahead.
-The longer we dawdle,
the faster someone else
makes a claim.
-How many are there?
-He's a loner.
-Which way did he go?!
-Tracks lead north.
-No sign of
that saddlebag either.
-We ain't got time
to chase a damn horse thief.
-I heard enough out of you.
-[horse neighing]
-[Wallace grunts]
-[Lester laughs]
-[Wallace grunting]
[choking and coughing]
-This ain't about
the damn horses.
That son of a bitch
killed one of my men
and took off with my money.
You do as I tell.
You're in my world now,
jackwagon.
[Wallace groans, then coughs]
-Get on your damn horse.
Mount up!
-Oryen, let's go!
-Yeah. Coming!
[horse neighs]
-Wah! Oh! Shit!
Ooh! Goddamn horse!
I'll string your ass up!

[music turns ominous]

[spits] Mm, gotcha!
[Nacoma neighs]
There he is.

[Nacoma snorting]
[tense music]
[rifle cocks]
-No way you make that shot.
-Oh, I'll take that bet.

[Nacoma snorts and neighs]
[gun fires]
[Dowanhowee grunts] Ah!
[Lester] Winged him.
[Nacoma neighing]
-Nacoma!!
[Dutch] Let's go huntin'.
[Lester] Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
-Let's go, boys.
-First we find my money,
and then we dig your gold.
Split up!
-Get your ass movin', boys!

[Dowanhowee panting]
[Lester] Whoo!
[horses neighing]
[Dowanhowee panting]
[Dutch] Where did
that son of a bitch go?
[Dowanhowee panting]
[Lester] There he is,
right there.
[gun cocks]
-[rapid gunshots]
-[horse neighs]
Never take
my goddamn shot!
[Oryen grunts]
[Henri] Great.
Looks like we're on foot now.
-Goddammit!
[suspenseful music]
-Oryen, get off your ass
and get up there.
I want that bastard back
breathing!
[Dowanhowee panting]
[Lester] He's down here!
[groaning]
[Dowanhowee panting heavily]
[water splashing]
[panting]
[grunts softly]
[Oryen groaning]
- Merde .
Over here.
-What you got there, Henri?
-Kick me around, huh?
-Hey!
Did you find him yet?
You up there?
Two Feathers?!
Oryen?!
What's going on?
-Well, what? Do we wait
until the calvary returns?
-Lester?!
[Dutch groans]
-You wanna know
the root of your problems?
-No.
-This fairy tale
of being an outlaw
has poisoned your mind
and you can't escape it.
-You don't know shit about me.
-I know all about you.
-[water gurgling]
-[Dowanhowee groaning]
[distant horse neighs]
-I know what pains you, too.
Guilt.
[Dutch sighs and groans]
It's colored your senses.
What would your wife
and child think
if they knew what you'd become?
-Will you-- [grunts]
[panting]
-Life's like a wild mare.
Always trying to buck us off.
-[Dutch grunting]
[groaning in pain]
Agh!
Agh!
Egh!
-I want to know.
how you see your little
fairy tale ending.
-[Dutch laughs]
I see my fairytale ending.
[gun cocks]
.without you.
[Wallace scoffs]
-I am the map to your salvation.
Yeah.
Remember that next time
you pull a gun on me.
[birds squawking]
[soft music]
-[Henri grunts]
Did we lose him?
-Bastard can't be that fast.
We should be on top of him.
-This one is smart.
-What the hell?!
We just came from there.
-I guess we're going back.
Let's go!
-Ow!
[groans]
Ow.
-How the hell
do you read this thing?
-Ah!
Oh.
Oh, god.
All right.
Shit.

-Great!
-Find him yet?
-[guns cock]
-Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, ay.
-That Edward's?
-Yeah. I, uh.
Yeah, I found it up there.
-Huh?
-There ain't nothin'
in there, all right?
He just--must have
burned it all.
-Goddammit!
[suspenseful music]
-Wallace! Wallace?!
[Wallace choking]
-Wallace!
-Du--Dutch.
-Oh, no. Oh shit.
Mother of Christ.
-[grunting]
Get my horse.
-Quiet! Quiet!
-Dutch!
-What was it?
What was it?
Tell me what you saw.
What'd you see?
-The stories are real.

[distant gunshot]
-It's Dutch!
-[rapid gunfire]
-[Wendigo snarling]
[breathing heavily]
-Agh.
-Ah!
-Nice shot, Two Feathers.
[Dowanhowee grunts]
-Agh.
-[Dowanhowee grunting]
[groaning]
Ah!
-This entire time,
we've been chasing
and been outrun by a woman.
-Don't matter.
[Dowanhowee panting]
- This is for Edward, whore.
-[Dowanhowee screaming in pain]
-It's okay.
I used to be a barber.
[laughs]
[loud gunshot]
-[Dowanhowee groaning]
-Get off her.
[Dowanhowee panting]
-This bitch murdered Edward,
and I say she gets
a little trail justice.
Goin' soft on featherheads?
-I said get off.
[Dowanhowee panting]
-[scoffs]
You're the boss, Boss.
[spits]
Indians taste fucking sour,
anyway.
No offense, Two Feathers.
-Eh.
[Dowanhowee panting]
-Is that--
is that Edward's saddlebag?
-Yeah.
There ain't nothin' in there.
She burnt it all.
-Damn it!
-Where's Wallace?
-He's dead.
-Dead?
[Dutch groans]
-Dead how?
-Some animal.
-Bear? No.
Wolf?
-Why don't you and Oryen
go find out what's going on
with our horses.
And keep your eyes open.
-What kind of animal?
-I don't know! Just go!
[Dowanhowee panting]
-Two Feathers, you bring
her over here right now.
-[grunting] Ah!
[grunting]
[screams]
-Shit!
-That's Wallace's horse.
-It's all tore up.
What the hell did that?
Well, where's Wallace's body?
-Sometimes animals.
[birds squawking]
.they drag off their kill.
Watch your back.
[Dowanhowee panting]
-What's her name?
-[in Lakota]
What is your name?
-What the hell?
Is she mute?
[Dowanhowee screaming in pain]
[Lester laughing]
-[speaking in Lakota]
What is your name?
[Dowanhowee screaming in pain]
[in Lakota]
What is your name?
-[speaking in Lakota]
-Name is Dowanhowee.
-Where's she from?
-[speaking in Lakota]
-Lakota.
-From the land.
-Could she be
more specific, please?
[Henri] Patron!
-What are you doing back here
with no horses?
-We found the tracks.
They're not far.
An arrowhead.
We found this.
Looks like a map.
-Shit.
City boy was holding out.
Never trust a man
in fancy clothes.
-Whatever killed the man
in the fancy clothes
took his remains as well.
Dragged him off.
Exactly what the hell did you
see out there, Dutch?
[tense music]
-Two Feathers,
what do you know
about this forest?
-Elders would tell us stories
of the cursed Black Wood.
Home to the devil.
But those are just stories.
-You--you've
never been here before?
-No.
-I bet she has.
-What the hell
are you talking about?
-I just think it's strange
that she knew exactly
how to get to this forest.
It's either a coincidence
or she lyin'.
Here. Look at that.
You see that? What are those
little markings there?
Look at it!
You know this forest?
-[groans]
-[speaking in Lakota]
-[Dowanhowee speaking in Lakota]
-She can take us there.
-So that's it?
We just going to let
this dirt worshiper live
after she killed Edward?
-She can help us find the gold.
-That's what it's
all about to you, huh?
[spits]
Money?
-Yeah.
-Gold or not, we're not alone.
There's something out there.
-All right, now look.
We have a job to do here,
all right?
No damn animal
is gonna stop us.
You got that?
So, if you see it, shoot it.
Kill it.
We're gonna track the horses,
find the prospectors,
get the gold,
and get the hell out of Dodge.
Anybody got a problem with that?
How about you, Henri?
You got a problem with that?
Good.
You and Two Feathers,
go track them horses.
Find the tracks.
Oryen, tie her up.
You're in charge of her now.
[Dowanhowee panting]
-What about the arrow
in her leg?
-Leave it in.
For Edward.
-All right.
Come on.
-Horses run this way.
Other tracks go that way.
-What the hell
made those tracks?
-We go this way.
[]
[money thuds]
-You fucking yella bellied
son of a bitch.
-[gunshot]
-[Oryen grunts]
[Dowanhowee] Ah!
-No! Lester!
[Dowanhowee breathing heavily]
-Agh!
You gut shot me, Lester.
Shit!
[breathing rapidly]
-It's all about
the money, right?
[Oryen groans]
-Yeah. Yeah.
-No, Dutch.
I-I was gonna--I was gonna
give it back to you.
I swear I was.
-Let's move out.
[Dowanhowee grunts]
-I'm gonna be all right.
[gun cocks]
Henri.
Henri!
-Your tale's done for, kid.
-No, Dutch. No--no.
Dutch!
-[loud gunshot]
[soft music]
[somber music]
[Dutch panting]
[]
[panting]
[]
Goddammit!
[coughs]
[Lester] How far can
these damn horses go?
-If you're scared, you run.
-[scoffs]
I usually just shit myself
and then shoot
whatever scared me.
[Dowanhowee speaking in Lakota]
-Two Feathers.
what's she saying?
-Leg hurts.
-[scoffs]
Good. Let her suffer.
[spits]
-I will not help you,
little one.
One cannot talk
if their tongue is cut out.
[spits]
-Damn Chief,
what did you say to her?
[Dutch] Two Feathers!
Hey, Two Feathers!
Make camp.
[panting]
I'm beat.
[harmonica playing]
-I know a whore named Wendy.
[all laugh]
[Dowanhowee groans]
-You--you've never been
with anyone named Wendy.
-Yeah, I did, Henri.
All the Wendys and the Marys.
-Ow, ow, ow.
-No Janes.
-Lester, you shut up.
-[laughs] And one Bess.
[laughing]
[Henri laughing]
[harmonica starts playing]
-Ow, god!
Goddammit! Aw!
[Dowanhowee breathes deeply]
-Thank you.
[Dowanhowee grunting]
-Whoo! Goddamn!
[Dowanhowee grunting]
Oh, my god.
-Looks like
she popped a cork.
[Dowanhowee sighs deeply]
[crickets chirping]
-Why don't you ask her
why she killed Edward?
-[speaking in Lakota]
-[Dowanhowee speaking in Lakota]
-He stole her horse.
-I guess we know where
Eddy got his new horse.
[Dowanhowee screaming in pain]
[sniffles]
[grunting]
-She will live.
[Wendigo growls and roars]
-Wendigo.
[Lester scoffs]
Shit.
Another Wendy, huh?
[Two Feathers] Wendigo.
tortured spirit.
The old one said
he stood twice as tall
as any man.
with the claws of a cougar,
teeth of a wolf,
and strength of a bear.
-[Lester scoffs]
Bear.
[laughs]
-Stay close to fire,
you'll be fine.
[harmonica starts playing]
-Shit.
The Wendigo might
hear this thing, huh?
[somber music]
-Dutch, that's my horse.
-How the hell
did that get up there?
-What the hell
kind of animal did this?
-No animal. A man.
-A man?
-How do you know?
-Tracks in blood
have five toes.
Like a man.
-How many sets of toes
do you see?
-One.
[wind whistling]
-Do you think it's one
of those prospectors
fucking with us?
-There's no way one man
can carry a 2,000-pound horse
and put it on a tree like that.
-Shit, I don't know.
Probably caught wind of us
coming out here.
Started killing off our horses
so we'd give up
looking for them.
-Dutch, we need to
leave here now.
-Shit, Henri,
it's just a goddamn bear!
We'll trap it, kill it.
-No bear in these woods.
-All right,
just calm down.
Everybody calm down.
-I'm very fucking calm,
but we have a dead horse
up in the tree.
-Jesus, Henri.
If we would of known
you'd of been nut-less,
we would have left you
at the whorehouse.
With Wendy!
-All right.
-You can't even count, okay!
-Grow a pair!
-Primate.
-Fuck you--
-Would you knock it off, now!
Now, look,
we ain't going anywhere
till we find the prospectors
and we find the gold.
Whoever's doing this seems
to be one foot ahead of us.
Once it's one foot ahead of us,
we one foot behind,
everything's gonna be fine.
Two Feathers,
ask her which way to go.
-[speaking in Lakota]
-[speaking in Lakota]
-Through the trees.
-All right.
Through the trees.
Now, let's nut the fuck up!
Now since we got
one set of tracks,
that means we got
one against five.
-You mean four.
-No, I mean five.
-What the hell are you doing?
-She's in the lead
from now on.
Tell her, Two Feathers,
if she tries to run,
I'll shoot her myself.

-What's she saying,
Two Feathers?
-These rocks are known as
the Seven Warriors.
-What do they mean?
-Long ago.
eight warriors
sought out the devil
within these woods
to protect their village
from enemies.
In return, the devil
wanted their souls as a trade,
but he tricked them.
He devoured the strength
of the seven warriors
and gave it to one,
transforming him
into a creature,
a creature no man could kill.
The other seven warriors
were turned into stone.
Together they created a wall.
A wall that separated
the spirit world from the rest.
-Fairy tales.
That way.
Keep your wits
about you, will ya?
[wind whistling]
[grunts]
[suspenseful music]
-Fuck this.
-If you're gonna run,
I'll shoot your ass.
-You're not shootin' anyone.
-Then why don't you
go first, Henri?
-All right, we'll go.
Go on. Go.
Two of you like
a couple of children.
-She said good luck.
-I'll let you know when
we get to the other side.
Go on.
Go on now.
Go on.

-Thanks.
-Why do you think they
left a prospector--
-[Dutch] Agh!
-hung up in the tree like that?
-Probably bait
for that Wenshigo thing.
-Wendigo.
-So, then what happened?
Did the warrior
turn into the Wendigo?
-When the warrior
returned home,
he found his village
under attack.
-Great.
Here we go with
the ghost stories again.
It's a bear, I tell ya.
-Lester, I swear to Christ,
I'm going to shoot you.
Shut your yap.
-It's a bear, I tell ya.
-One who does not listen
does not learn.
-Go on.
-He ripped the enemy apart,
staining the soil with blood.
He ate the bodies,
leaving but bones.
The warrior tried
to return to his family,
but they were scared.
scared of what he had become.
His own people,
that he saved,
now banished him
from his home.
never to return.
The warrior ate the people
of his village out of revenge.
They became known
as the Lost Tribe.
Those who survived
escaped to the prairie.
never to return.
except for one.
Her.
[]
She wears the marking
of the Lost Tribe on her arm.
Her blood runs
through these woods.
-So, after that,
what happened to the warrior?
-Some believe he continues
to roam these woods
in search of the devil,
and the souls
of the seven stone warriors.
The curse of the Wendigo
is strong.

You remind me
of my daughter.
She wasn't no Indian.
But she had your spirit.
She had your sass.
She had your strength.
My little girl always wanted
to visit the ocean.
She wanted to become a bird
so she could fly there
any time she wanted.
So, I promised her.
one day. I'd get us
a little place,
so we'd be next to it.
But then I had to leave
my little girl
and my beautiful wife
for the war.
I got a telegram telling me.
I got a telegram telling me
that they had both
been killed by Indians.
Set the house on fire
while they slept.
Burned them alive.
"One day. one day I'm gonna
find us a little house.
and you can go to the ocean
anytime you want."
That's what I said.
I told her that.
Oh, goddamn.
[sniffles] Life.
life is like
riding a wild mare.
It's always trying to buck
you off when you climb up on it.
Oh, what's it matter.
You don't know what the hell
I'm saying anyway.
